your right, sorry to say anything in here...

What about a demo, or getting a refund from the store where you bought it? I don't know, I guess the fact that warez is illegal just isn't very appealing to me. In any event, if you use it, it's up to you- but I wouldn't recommend any TWF members getting into it for the reasons above, and that you can get in a lot of trouble if you are caught.

this one too...

Hey Korndragon,
That's really not very good advise... and you probably should not be saying things like that in a public forum; You don't know who is watching.

Software developers put a lot of work into creating a good product, and undermining them will only hurt future development of that company. It can also drive up prices for those of us who obtain their product through legal methods. That is probably one of the reasons that Photoshop is so expensive.

Look here to see why this is the best vector illustration tool that no one (or not many anyway) has heard of.

Also, here is a poll from GraphicsNews.com in response to the question: "What's your favorite illustration application?"

I also tried it circa v.5 and didn't like the interface. Presumably it's improved by now.

$400 bucks for the full version is a little too much for something that is not Photoshop. Come to think of it, that is too much for Photoshop.
